The film explores how creativity, empathy, and shared experience can help tell deeply personal stories around cancer awareness and healing.
Drawing on his own cancer journey, Mackenzie creates a one-of-a-kind artwork inspired by Lee’s personal experience with cancer. What begins as an artistic collaboration gradually becomes something far more meaningful, an honest and moving connection between two people brought together through vulnerability, resilience, and understanding.
Throughout the film, Mackenzie listens closely to Lee’s story, translating emotion and experience into a deeply personal piece of art. The process reveals the power of creative expression during difficult times and highlights how art can help people feel seen, understood, and connected.
The short film also reflects many of the themes that define Mackenzie’s wider body of work: tenderness, strength, emotional honesty, and the quiet resilience that exists even in moments of uncertainty.
As a contemporary artist, Mackenzie has long explored the emotional side of human experience through his work. This collaboration with Macmillan Cancer Support offered an opportunity to approach those themes in a particularly personal and meaningful way.
At Arthaus, we are proud to support projects that use creativity to spark conversation and raise awareness around important issues. Partnerships like this demonstrate how art and storytelling can play a meaningful role in conversations around cancer, wellbeing, and shared human experience.
We are incredibly grateful to Lee for sharing his story so openly, and to everyone involved in bringing this collaboration to life.
You can watch the full short film on Instagram and follow the conversation across our social channels.
We hope this wonderful film resonates with you as deeply as it has resonated with us.
Warm wishes,
Team Arthaus
